About this Item
1st Printing. Unpaginated. Published in 2001. Exhibition Catalog. Retrospective collection of digitally-altered color portrait-photographs and diorama-like panoramas. One of the most emotionally resonant, cutting-edge photographic projects of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The Exhibition Catalog is now rare. A brilliant production by Eduardo Cortils: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Eduardo Cortils. Text by various contributors. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Buenos Aires, Argentina to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark eponymous exhibition held at the Casa de la Cultura San Pedro de Pinatar in 2001. Presents Eduardo Cortils' highly experimental yet emotionally evocative photographs. They allude to a metaphysical reality while being deeply rooted in history (mainly, Latin America's colonial past). Digitally altered, the images vibrate, and are indelible. Cortils' considerable body of work is presented in three suites, beautifully reproduced, particularly his vast diorama-like panoramas, which are amazing in their meticulous attention to detail and raw power. The image of the boy on the cover holding an illuminated object has been copied repeatedly by other photographers it is now generic. It is Eduardo Cortils' single most iconic image. An absolute "must-have" title for Eduardo Cortils collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates and panoramas. One of the most brilliant Latin-American artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. Seller Inventory # 19649
